Is it Sunday already?
We had such a fun weekend! I love
that my nephew, Isaac, did air quotes for multiple words throughout the whole
weekend. And let Jacob shoot him nearly
1000 times with a Nurf gun (at Isaac’s request, of course). Don’t worry, Isaac hid around corners and did
get Jacob back many times.
We did not get to meet Troy and Jacob from Swamp People –
there were SOOOO many people there it would have been a whole day event.
The trip to Crate & Barrel with my sis-in-law was dangerously
fun. We found super cute things
including this, this, and this. I work
less than a block from the store and I know it will be way too easy of a lunch break
shopping trip. If I would have won the
Power Ball this weekend I would quickly go back and ask for 1 of everything. Wouldn’t that be fun…
We also watched a couple fun movies, ate great food, and just
had good ol’ family bonding. It’s so
nice to have family close by! My
brother-in-law could not make the trip so I decided to send home so freshly
made cookies. He likes sweets almost as
much as me. Haha
These are going to be a regular in my house. The cookies taste just like brownies with a
cookie consistency and with the peanut butter chips it’s just like having a
Reece’s Peanut Butter cup. Yummmm.
You need to make these!
